How many are guilty of this? It is wild how many people are out "together" eating but are constantly on their phones. Am I the only one that finds this disrespectful?

I guess it isn't if both parties are doing it but what is the point of being in public with someone/family if yall are going to be on the phone most of the night?
 
I don't do it unless I am not enjoying myself or there is a huge break in our interaction. Like if it rings, I'll turn it over and look it, she's the same but we both place them face down when we are out together and it's not even something we ever discussed, just general manners I guess. Only calls she gets when we are together anyways are her family members asking her "where are you? You with that boy again?" By the way I am talking about on dates.

My main lady (luckily) isn't in her phone all the time

She might Instagram a nice drink every now and again but that's it.

It's okay to check every now and again. It's just a habit

With the side chicks, I check it if it's too much...

And they normally oblige...


I've learned that chicks respect you if you step up and acknowledge what you don't like...

Some might try to hit you with the "you're so insecure"...

But just side step it and stick to your guns

Yea man, you can do that at home.

I was at Blue DOlphin out in Crofton a few weeks ago and there was a family of 5. Mother, Father, 3 daughters. There was a 5 mins+ stretch were all of them were on their phones. Not talking. Yea I people watch.
 
I see large parties of all on their phones at the same time all the time. Weird to me.
 
I can understand checking it once in a while, I do the same. But I won't literally bury my face in my phone whether its family or a date
 
When a large group of friends and I go out to dinner we almost never have our phones out. I'm lucky my friends actually like being around each other and enjoy our dinner.
 
***** annoying. im never on my phone at the table when im eating with someone unless i get a call or something. 
 
my phone stay in my pocket, I only check it if it rings

but my girl face stay buried in her phone no matter where we at.
 
Had to check my kid the other day when he thought he'd break out his phone at the dinner table. I don't play that game.

You have all day to look at your phone, so when you're with the family, be with the family. We already don't have a lot of interaction time due to school/work, so I'll be damned if playing Flappy Bird is gonna replace human interaction at the dinner table.
 
Nope. One my pet peeves. Wasnt allowed in my household and it's wildly disrespectful imo
 
I don't even like it when people are always on their phone, social media obsessed in general but I try not to judge on what people do on their own time. If we're hanging out though, disrespectful and boring.
 
Nope, I make an effort not to.

Irks me when friends do it too. 

Breh, why invite me out if yall just bout to be on your phones. Wouldve stayed my as at home.

makes me sad when I see a family of 5 and two of their kids are on their phones, not paying attention at all causing them to practically stick their fork into their drinks.

almost makes me cringe man...you can't tell they don't appreciate a damn thing

I hate it when my friends do this. They always have to check their facebook, instagram, snapchat or whatever. It's like they can't stand a little silence but I can stand a little bit of boredom. I actually need boredom so I can think quietly to myself instead of mindlessly checking for updates from social media. I know a girl who does this all the time to the point where its difficult to even hold a conversation with her.
